I was scrolling through Instagram the other day, and once I was all \”caught up\” on the new posts in my feed, suggested posts started popping up for me to look at. A LOT of these were about swimming. Whether it was showing a new drill, a race, new tech suits coming out, or something […]

“Great job tonight, guys!” Coach Tanner clapped as my teammate, Landon, and I clung to the side of the pool, still trying to catch our breath. “That was a tough set, and I loved seeing the effort you put into it. For that, I’m ending practice early tonight.” I shot a glance at the clock
